An investor has a $1,000,000 portfolio that is split evenly between "blue chip" stocks and Treasury securities. The current economic environment is characterized by low interest rates and flat stock prices - and this is expected to remain unchanged for a number of years. However, the residential and commercial real estate market is expected to be strong. The investor would like to diversify the portfolio and enhance returns without adding much additional risk. Which of the following investment purchase recommendations would help achieve this objective?A. Mortgage REITsB. Mortgage BondsC. Equity REITsD. Fannie Mae Pass-Through Certificates
Answer:
Correct Answer:
B. Mortgage Bonds
Explanation:
Since residential and commercial real estate market is expected to be strong for a number of years, the best investment would be a mortage bond.
A mortgage bond is a bond in which holders have a claim on the real estate assets put up as its collateral. The lender might sell a collection of mortgage bonds to an investor, who then collects the interest payments on each mortgage until it's paid off. If the mortgage owner defaults, the bondholder gets her house.
Data pertaining to a company's joint production for the current period follows
Quantities produced 310 lbs. 260 lbs
Market value at split-off point . $10.2/lb. $20.4/lb
Compute the cost to be allocated to Product L for this period's $792 of joint costs if the value basis is used. (Do not round intermediate calculations.)
a. $295.81.
b. $49619.
c. $39600.
d. $2,926.00.
e. $962.19.
Answer: a. $295.81.
Explanation:
Using the value basis would mean that the product's share of the total market value will be used to determine it's share of the cost.
Total Market Value = Product L Market Value + Product M Market Value
= (310 lbs * 10.2) + ( 260 lbs * 20.4)
= 3,162 + 5,304
= $8,466
Product L's share of total market value
= 3,162/8,466
Product L's share of the $792 based on share of total market value
= (3,162/8,466) * 792
= $295.8072
= $295.81
The 7 percent bonds issued by Modern Kitchens pay interest semiannually, mature in eight years, and have a $1,000 face value. Currently, the bonds sell for $987. What is the yield to maturity? B) 6.92 percent D) 7.22 percent A) 6.97 percent C) 6.88 percent E) 7.43 percent
Answer:
The answer is D. 7.22 percent
Explanation:
Interest payments are being made semiannually, this means it is being paid twice in a year
N(Number of periods) = 16 periods ( 8 years x 2)
I/Y(Yield to maturity) = ?
PV(present value or market price) = $987
PMT( coupon payment) = $35 ( [7 percent÷ 2] x $1,000)
FV( Future value or par value) = $1,000.
We are using a Financial calculator for this.
N= 16; PV = -987 ; PMT = 35; FV= $1,000; CPT I/Y= 3.61
3.61 percent is the Yield-to-maturity for semiannual
Therefore, the Yield-to-maturity of the bond annually is 7.22 percent (3.61 percent x 2)
Bramble Corp. purchased equipment for $48800. Sales tax on the purchase was $2928. Other costs incurred were freight charges of $732, repairs of $427 for damage during installation, and installation costs of $813. What is the cost of the equipment

Cost of equipment = $52,887
Explanation:
According to International Accounting Standards (IAS) 16, property plants and equipment, the cost of land includes all of the cost necessary to bring and make it ready for the intended use.
These costs include purchase cost, fees and commission associated with the purchase transaction.
Here in this question the installation cost, sales taxes and repairs slab all fall within the definition of IAS 16
Hence cost of the equipment
48,800 + 2,928 + 732 + 427 = $52,887
Cost of equipment = $52,887
The Busby Corporation had a share price at the start of the year of $26.20, paid a dividend of $0.56 at the end of the year, and had a share price of $29.00 at the end of the year. Which of the following is closest to the rate of return of investments in companies with equal risk to The Busby Corporation for this period?
A) 5%
B) 7%
C) 9%
D) 13%
Answer:
D) 13%
Explanation:
Calculation for the percentage that is closest to the rate of return of investments
First step is to find the balance amount of the share price using this formula
Share price =(End of the year Share price + End of the year dividend)-Start of the year Share price
Let plug in the formula
Share price =($29.00+$0.56)-$26.20
Share price =$29.56-$26.20
Share price =$3.36
Second step is to find the rate of return of investments
Using this formula
Rate of return of investments= Share price/Start of the year Share price
Rate of return of investments
Let plug in the formula
Rate of return of investments=$3.36/$26.20
Rate of return of investments=0.13*100
Rate of return of investments=13%
Therefore the percentage that is closest to the rate of return of investments in companies with equal risk to The Busby Corporation for this perio will be 13%

What are the benefits and risks associated with social networks? Support your answers with relevant examples
Answer:
Explanation:
There are many benefits as well as risks to social networks. The greatest benefit is that they allow us to connect with individuals from anywhere in the world, at any distance, and in a seconds notice. This is incredibly powerful and opens the door for many opportunities in all types of markets. Social networks also come with risks, since everyone is on it people tend to share all of their information which can cause problems for that individual if it falls into the wrong hands. For example, an individual connects with a family member who lives in Brasil and has casual conversations with that family member every other day. A hacker may be able to access that information and extract all the valuable information needed to steal that individual's identity.
Which of the following would increase the likelihood that a company would increase its debt ratio, other things held constant? a. The company's stock price hits a new low. b. An increase in costs incurred when filing for bankruptcy. c. An increase in the personal tax rate. d. The Federal Reserve tightens interest rates in an effort to fight inflation. e. An increase in the corporate tax rate.
Answer:
Option e: An increase in the corporate tax rate
Explanation:
Corporate income tax rate is used to know how much people are willing to invest their new capital and also where they will place that new capital.
An increase in it is likely to encourage a company to use more debt in its capital structure.
The lower the corporate tax rate, the more it drives or leads to growth in capital stock, wages, jobs and others while the higer(increase) in corporate income tax rate, the more it affects economic decisions.
An Increase in a company's debt ratio will therefore lead to an increase in the marginal cost of both debt and equity financing. Also this action may lower the company's WACC
Assume the government has a balanced budget and that the economy is experiencing a period of growth higher than predicted. The tax revenue collected by the government is likely to ________, which would lead to a ________.
The tax revenue that is collected by the government is likely to increase which would then lead to a budget surplus.
A budget reveals the expenditure and the revenue of the government for a particular fiscal year.
Since there is a balanced budget such that the revenue and the expenses for the given year is thesame, then due to the higher growth, there'll be an increase in the tax revenue.
The increase in tax revenue will then lead to a situation whereby the revenue is more than the expenditure, therefore this will lead to a budget surplus.

if average demand for invenrory item is 200 units per day lead time is three days and safety stock is 1-- units the reorder point is
please do you mean 1 unit for safety stock or 100 units, will solve for both
Answer:when safety stock =1, Reorder point= 601 units
when safety stock =100, Reorder point= 700 units
Explanation:
Reorder Point (ROP), also called reorder level, is the point of inventoryset by a busness in which it replenishes its stock of items.
given:
Average demand= 200
lead time = 3
when safety stock =1
Reorder point= (Average demand X Delivery lead time ) + Safety stock
= (200 x 3 ) +1 = 601 units
when safety stock = 100
Reorder point= (Average demand X Delivery lead time ) + Safety stock
= (200 x 3 ) +100 = 700 units

A monopoly's cost function is
C = 1.5q^2 + 40 Q
and its the demand for its product is
p = 320-0.5Q
where Q is output, p is price, and C is the total cost of production. Determine the profit-maximizing price and output for a monopoly. The profit maximizing output level is units. (Enter a numeric response using an integer)
Answer:
70 units
Explanation:
The computation of profit maximizing output level is shown below:-
Monopolist perform Marginal Revenue which equivalent to the Marginal Cost as
MR = Marginal Revenue and MC = Marginal Cost
[tex]MR = \frac{\partial TR}{\partial Q} = \frac{\partial PQ}{\partial Q} = \frac{\partial (320-0.5Q)Q}{\partial Q}[/tex]
[tex]MR = \frac{\partial (320Q -0.5Q^2)}{\partial Q}[/tex]
MR = 320 - Q
Now we will find the MC which is
[tex]MC = \frac{\partial TC}{\partial Q} =\frac{\partial (1.5Q^2 + 40Q)}{\partial Q} = 3Q + 40[/tex]
now we will put the value of which is into MR = MC
320 - Q = 3Q + 40
280 = 4Q
70 = Q
So, the profit maximizing output level is 70 units.
Mr. Fred Mitchell is requesting the birth record for Amy, his birth daughter. Mr. and Mrs. Mitchell gave Amy up for adoption four years ago. Should you release the records to him? Why or why not?

Morganton Company makes one product:The budgeted selling price per unit is $70. Budgeted unit sales for June, July, August, and September are 8,500, 16,000, 18,000, and 19,000 units what is the estimated cost of raw materials purchases for July?
Answer:
Missing information:
"The ending raw materials inventory equals 10% of the following month’s raw materials production needs. Each unit of finished goods requires 4 pounds of raw materials. The raw materials cost $2.50 per pound."
raw materials needs for July:
Units produced 16,000 x 4 = 64,000 pounds
ending inventory (18,000 x 4) x 10% = 7,200 pounds
- beginning inventory (16,000 x 4) x 10% = 6,400 pounds
total raw materials purchases 64,800 pounds
cost of raw materials for July = 64,800 x $2.50 = $162,000
A pension fund manager is considering three mutual funds. The first is a stock fund, the second is a long-term government and corporate bond fund, and the third is a T-bill money market fund that yields a sure rate of 5.5%. The probability distributions of the risky funds are: Expected Return Standard Deviation Stock fund (S) 15 % 32 % Bond fund (B) 9 % 23 % The correlation between the fund returns is 0.15. What is the Sharpe ratio of the best feasible CAL?
Answer:
0.296875
Explanation:
Given the following :
Probability distribution of risky funds :
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - stock fund(S) - - bond fund(B)
Expected return - - - 15% - - - - - - - - - - 9%
Std - - - - - - - - - - - - - 32% - - - - - - - - - - 23%
Correlation between funds return = 0.15
Sure rate = 5.5%
To calculate the Sharpe ratio we use the formula :
Sharpe Ratio = (Expected Return of Investment - Risk Free Rate) / Standard Deviation of excess return of investment
For the stock fund :
Expected return = 15%
Risk free rate = market sure rate = 5.5%
Standard deviation = 32%
Sharpe ratio of stock fund :
(15% - 5.5%) / 32%
= 9.5% / 32%
= 0.296875
For Bond fund :
Expected return = 9%
Risk free rate = market sure rate = 5.5%
Standard deviation = 23%
Sharpe ratio of bond fund :
(9% - 5.5%) / 23%
= 3.5% / 23%
= 0.1521739
Therefore the Sharpe ratio of the best feasible CAL is the higher of the two ratios which is 0.296875

Identify factors that could prevent an older, established company from effecting an enterprise-wide, customer-centric culture.
Answer:
A more established company may find it difficult to implement an enterprise-wide, customer-centric culture due to the following reasons:
A) Existence of a Multi-Product Business Model
A business entity that is well established with a lot of years under its belt will find it a tough challenge to shift from a product-oriented business model to a customer-oriented business model.
To be product-focused simply means that that a company has woven its organisational structure around products. For examples, a company that is into the gaming business may have teams for their Sports Betting Section, another for their online gaming section, game hardware section, gaming apps section etc.
First, for these various teams, their performance metric will largely depend on how functionally efficient their products are.
Second, techy or geeky staff are seldom efficient when it comes to emotional intelligence - a key requirement for being customer efficient.
One way to handle this is to ensure that there is a central Customer Relationship Management team that oversees the customers for each product.
B) Organisational Inflexibility
As direct to the point as it sounds, getting market intelligence for with the intention to use them for decision making is challenging. What is tougher is the ability to implement the insights from such intelligence to effect a turn around in the way customers perceive and respond to a company's offerings.
The ability to quickly take gather market intel, agree on a strategic direction based on same and execute can be referred to organisational agility.
The more bureaucratic and hierarchical an organisation is (this, by the way, characterises older and more established business systems) the less agile it is likely to be.
